An unusual approach of Jinteki RP, replacing the flatline potential by more taxing and a never advance agenda strategy.

The ice count is a bit higher than a typical RP deck because without the protection of snare, shock and fetal AI you want to be able to ice up your central early, and maintain the protection vs parasite recursion decks.

Once you've iced up the centrals you want to create a small tower and score your agendas aggressively, using the tried-and-tested never advance approach which puts the runner in an awkward spot of having to potentially run an empty server.

Diversified portfolio was tried and rejected because it doesn't help you get started early on and only get better than hedge fund once you have 6 remotes - by then your econ should be set up.

Saw this on BGG so I figured I'd copy my reply to here as well.

I've had a lot of experience with this type of deck (been playing with it for the past 3-4 months), and I initially started off with San-San as well, but found that my servers were usually so taxing that it just wasn't worth it, because I could safely install and then score a 3/2 next turn, or install, advance, and score a 4/2 next turn. Maybe, with some of jinteki's new toys it is more viable now, with medical breakthrough it gives you six agendas that you can score out of hand with sansan after the first one is scored or stolen.

That being said, for some comments on your current build, I have a few ideas. Komainu is actually incredibly taxing, since you're jinteki the runner will usually be running with a full hand and therefore put the most subroutines possible on it. Usually a runner will choose to break all the subroutines (usually spending up to 5 credits!!!) rather than lose their whole hand. It also combos extremely well with mental health clinic. With all of the porous ice that you have, I think you might struggle in the early game, I think enigma would slot well into this deck. I really like himitsu-bako in an RP deck, because you can plop it down in front of a central early game, then pull it back for something more taxing later game, then use it for sundew or another econ asset. Finally, I'd replace the two hedge funds with celebrity gifts, I replaced hedge fund with celeberity gift in my deck and never looked back. Another thought, if you find that Hokusai grid isn't working like you want it to, you could replace it with 3x Snare. Remember, net damage is still taxing, and three at once plus a tag can really slow the runner.

Overall, this is what I'd do -2 Hedge Fund +2 Celebrity Gift -2 Yagura +2 Enigma -1 Tsurugi -1 Pup +2 Komainu (if you wanted to try out bako) -2 Chimera +2 Bako

Just my two cents
